Hypothecs or prior claims Clause Samples

The "Hypothecs or prior claims" clause establishes the priority of certain security interests or claims over the assets involved in a contract. In practice, this clause clarifies whether any existing hypothecs (a form of security interest, similar to a mortgage) or other prior claims take precedence over the rights or interests being granted or transferred under the agreement. For example, if a property is already subject to a bank's hypothec, this clause would specify that the bank's claim is satisfied before any new claims. Its core function is to ensure all parties are aware of and respect existing encumbrances, thereby preventing disputes over asset ownership or payment priority.
Hypothecs or prior claims. The BORROWER undertakes to keep the property free of all prior claims, hypothecs, or encumbrances whatsoever including those which might have precedence over the LENDER’s rights, save those declared hereinbelow. The BORROWER binds and obliges itself to furnish at its expense, to the LENDER on request, any renunciation, granting of priority, acquittance, or release which the latter may deem necessary to protect the priority of its rights on the hypothecated property.
